The situation from the other night has been resolved. Upon further reflection, I was not at fault, and the other party involved is refusing to accept causality. It was really the kick in the pants I needed to remove myself from a bad situation. And that’s all there is to say about that.

In other news, I did not tell y’all that last week, while dining at an Italian chain restaurant (sounds like Barraba’s), the waitress referred to me as my co-worker’s mother. He’s 15 months younger than I am. Way to talk yourself out of a tip!

The next day, at lunch (where I was the only female in the group), they handed him my credit card. We aren’t sure if that is worse for him, or for me.

I really want to get a dog, specifically a Boston Terrier. I’m not sure how Jasper feels about that. Orion loves dogs. Of course, first I need to stop with all the travel. Secondly, I need to clear it with my landlord. Thirdly, I need to research dog training, because there is nothing I hate more than an ill-trained dog.

I also need to start Christmas shopping. I tried to start last night, but the address I needed was at home. With all of the travel and stuff, Christmas is feeling like something I have to do. I’m not decorating, because I won’t really have time to take the decorations down. I don’t plan on sending out Christmas cards this year- I hope people don’t take that as a slight.
